![]() ![]() She gets to this mansion, old and kind of run-down, and sees her aunt sitting on the front step. Her aunt never shows up to pick her up from the airport. So Barrie is moving back to live with an aunt she's never met, that she never even knew she had, so that Mark can go live in a home to be taken care of. Her mother has just passed away, and her godfather, Mark, has found out that he is also dying of cancer. And she is about to find out that her family is one of three families part of some ancient legacies/curses. While some might say there was a bit of "insta-love," I think it was definitely explained in a way that totally made it NOT "insta-love." I"m very ready for the story to go on, but as it says at the end of the ARC, I'll have to wait till next Fall. ![]() And honestly, it was a different story than most of them these days. This is one of the awesome ARCs I got at BEA this past summer, and I also got to meet the author, I'll share that picture at the end! I have to say this was another story I really enjoyed. ![]()
